Wow. That was just as awesome as the last. Look at that beautiful curvature of our round Earth.
This feed is watching someone watch it, which is kind of cool but not the direct feed.
Not just someone, but rather Tim Dodd, aka Everyday Astronaut.
Why did one engine not light up?
The outer ring of engines are non-relightable, they are lit from the pad. Guessing not enough ignition from the ground
The better question is why the other 32 did
The last test launch a bunch of engines didn't light up. I'm assuming they're gathering data on improving this.
That thing is built like a tank!
